Brandon Kahla
The mission of this podcast is to help people that are considering a move to the real estate industry, have been doing this for a short period of time, or who simply want to know more about real estate and the behind the scene ins and outs of the highs and sometimes lows of this industry. Welcome to Real Estate Simplified!
Are you set up for complete failure financially if you never own a home? Not necessarily. Statistically, are you more likely to have more wealth by using home ownership as the main source of that wealth? Most likely, yes.
In this episode I spend time bringing you facts about wealth difference between renters and home owners.
I hope you enjoy!

Finding a place to call home is a big deal for so many people…since 2020 statistics show that the majority of people spend approximately 17 hours a day within this sanctuary, and with this there is an innate responsibility of ensuring the safety and well-being of our loved ones within its walls. In the pursuit of safeguarding our homes, a topic often ignites passionate opinions – firearms. Now while it is not uncommon for homeowners in America to own a gun, about four-in-ten U.S. adults say they live in a household with a gun, including 32% who say they personally own one, theidea of homeowners having guns for protection raises questions, sparks debates, and warrants a thorough examination of the pros and cons. In this episode, I’m going to spend time talking through the pros of homeowners owning a firearm and the broader canvas of home safety.

Mortgage rates hit an uncomfortably high number at just over 8% in some parts of the country in late October, and now, in less than two months, we are seeing rates in the high to mid 6's. That is getting people all sorts of excited about the potential of rate decreases in 2024...predictions are coming out saying 3 decreases to be exact can be expected in the coming year.
What does this mean?
Spend the next 10 minutes with me to find out!

In this episode, I spend time covering four sections of the Bible that focus on home ownership.
Segment 1: The Biblical Foundation of Home Ownership
Proverbs 24:3-4 (NIV), states, "By wisdom, a house is built, and through understanding, it is established; through knowledge, its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures."

Faith and Trust in God’s Provision
Philippians 4:19 (NIV) reassures us, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."

Welcome to The Wise Home Owner! I am Brandon Kahla and my mission is to simplify real estate and what all goes into home ownership. In this show, I will share the stories of clients that I work with, struggles and triumphs of my own experiences of home ownership, what it takes to buy a home in today's market, and all the things to expect (mostly the unexpected) throughout the journey. Come along with me as I dive deep into topics that might seem completely foreign to you, and by the end of each episode you hopefully feel like it's something you can more easily understand. You don't know what you don't know, and it's time to start figuring out what you don't know. Let's get everything down to a 3rd grade level. It’s time to get started!
What does generational wealth mean to you? Have you thought about generational wealth in the sense that it can be attainable for you and be a blessing for your family and loved ones? Some of us don’t really take the time to consider what this phrase means. Maybe this is the first time you have heard those two words combined, generational wealth.
In this episode of The Wise Home Owner I talk with Brandon Bates about how generational wealth can be attained through home ownership, and it could be as simple as buying your first home. We also spend time dissecting the needs versus wants dilemma that we all too often encounter in our everyday lives.
We are going to discuss principles that can allow you to build something that outlives you! I don’t know about you, but I want to know that my children have been set up for success, not just monetarily but in all areas of life, because of the decisions I made and the actions I took along the way.
I hope you enjoy.
"What will mortgage rates be in 12 months?" asks the person holding the magic 8 ball.
The person shakes the magic 8 ball and waits for the answer. "Come back in 12 months and I'll let you know then"...even magic 8 balls don't know what is going to happen to mortgage rates in the future!
Experts will make their predictions based off of decisions made by the Fed, CPI, if bonds are being bought and sold, and so many additional variables. The truth is, no one TRULY knows what the future holds.
But I do think there is a pretty solid answer for what will happen once rates do come down. Remember what was happening to the housing market in 2021 and 2022? Absolute chaos! Homes were being bought for $50-$100k over list price, appraisals were being waived, and inspections were being negotiated completely out of the buying process. People were buying homes without a shred of leverage because it was so cheap to borrow money to buy that home. I don't think we will see another market quite like that, but how many more buyers will be able to qualify for a home loan once rates go back below 5%? Certainly more than the number of buyers that are currently looking. And the chances of there being more inventory for those buyers to choose from is, well...extremely low.
Hey there, welcome back to The Wise Home Owner (formerly known as Real Estate, Simplified)! I am Brandon Kahla and my mission is to simplify real estate and what all goes into home ownership. In this show, I will share the stories of clients that I work with, struggles and triumphs of my own experiences of home ownership, what it takes to buy a home in today's market, and all the things to expect (mostly the unexpected) throughout the journey. Come along with me as I dive deep into topics that might seem completely foreign to you, and by the end of each episode you hopefully feel like it's something you can more easily understand. You don't know what you don't know, and it's time to start figuring out what you don't know. Let's get everything down to a 3rd grade level. It’s time to get started!
Today, we have an exciting topic to discuss that can potentially change your financial game. We'll be talking about turning your home into an investment property instead of selling it. So, if you're looking for ways to make your property work for you, you've come to the right place. Let's dive right in!

For this episode, I am running it back. You’re going to hear from myself and Brandon Bates as we discuss marrying the home, dating the rate, and whether now is still a good time to buy a home. This topic or more relevant than ever as rates continue to climb and we’re waiting to hear what the fed is going to do about a possible rate hike in the very near future. As rates climb yet home prices still increase in some areas of the country, especially Frisco, TX where I am located, it’s important to know what experts are saying about home buying in today’s market.
Rates are continuing to increase, but there are programs available that benefit buyers and sellers in this market. If you're thinking about waiting until the new year to buy for the potential of lower rates you will likely be waiting until Q3 2023. Market trends are also showing that even though home prices are leveling off in North Texas they are certainly not tanking. That $500k home will end up being $525k+ in 6-12 months and you will still likely have the same amount in your bank for the down payment...that means a smaller down payment percentage!
Join us for this episode of Real Estate, Simplified as we discuss the current market and ways to make home buying and selling a win:win process for everyone involved!
Thanks for listening to this episode about whether it’s the right time to buy, what the market is doing, how to navigate it, and hopefully you now have a better feeling about how you or someone you know can make an informed decision about buying in the near future. Full disclosure, I did shorten the episode from it’s original version because we start to dive into seller philosophy, so if you want to hear about that please be sure to checkout episode 17 titled “Marry the Home, Date the Rate: Reasons That Buying Now Is Still the Right Decision.

In this episode I will be diving in deep on the term earnest money. This is probably a term you are not using in your regular day to day interactions, so I’m going to break it down quite a bit.
Questions that will be answered:
1. What is earnest money?
2. Why does a buyer need to provide earnest money at all?
3. Why is this a part of the process?
4. Is the money lost or gone forever?
5. Is there any chance of losing the earnest money?
6. Are there scenarios where a buyer could get the earnest money returned after the option period ends?
All of these questions answered in less than 15 minutes!

In this episode I will be diving in deep on two important concepts in real estate: option money and option period. These terms are essential to understand when entering into a home purchase contract.
Option money refers to a payment made by a potential buyer to the seller during the early stages of a home purchase. This will happen after an offer is accepted and is information that is included in the offer that your real estate will submit.
The specific timeframe in which the buyer has the exclusive right to terminate the contract is called the option period. This period is negotiated between the buyer and the seller, typically lasting between 5 and 10 days.

How many times in the last 30 days has someone asked for a recommendation of any kind? Think about it for a few seconds. Your neighbor sees you in the front yard as your both going out to get the mail at the end of the day. They see that your yard was recently mowed and it’s looking great. They complement the work and then ask, “hey who does your yard?” A family member is buying a new car and they want to shop for car insurance rates to see if theirs is too high. “Hey who do use for car insurance?”. It happens all the time. It’s fairly easy for us to rattle off those recommendations for the things in our lives that we use on a regular basis, but what about vendors/specialists in the real estate industry? If you don’t have a wide-ranging list of vendors that can help your clients and potential clients, you are missing out on a huge ROI opportunity. By having this one tool you are setting yourself up to be the go-to person, even for people you might not know yet, that they can count on for a solid recommendation.

I started my real estate journey in November 2020 while making the decision to leave a successful career at Bell Helicopter. It was NOT an easy decision, but I made that tough decision because I saw the potential in what a focus in real estate could offer me.
Real Estate is not for everyone. Getting your license is just the beginning, and there are a few additional steps that must be completed before you can even qualify for taking the licensing exams. Where are you going to get your leads? How are you going to build trust with the clients you have? What's going to happen to happen if you are not able to close any deals? How do you decide which brokerage to work with?
I break down the steps you need to take to get started and also point out some pros and cons of what every real estate agent will expect along the way.

The home inspection process is one of the most important pieces when finding a home that is just right for you.
Without getting a home inspection done you are potentially setting yourself up for heart ache, safety issues, and a big bill to fix anything that might be wrong with the house.
There are a lot of details to consider when deciding if a home is right for you. Many times, there are more questions raise than answers provided if you are not working with an expert home inspector. The same goes for if you are not working with a Realtor that emphasizes the importance of the home inspection. This short video from Brandon Kahla Real Estate will explain some fundamental truths about the home inspection process.

A recent Lending Tree survey showed that the majority of people believe the housing market is going to crash...even more concerning, they believe it could be as bad or worse than 2008. My biggest question is, where are they getting information from to come to that conclusion?
You've probably watched a number of videos on people's opinions on what the 2023 real estate market is going to do. How many of those videos showcased data from reputable sources and attempted to paint a full picture of what's going on? Don't let fear or inaccurate information pave the road to your future.

In this episode of Real Estate, Simplified I sit down with Brandon Bates to discuss the Kahla’s journey through the home buying process…we bought house number two! I discuss what the process looked like from the buyer’s perspective, the variety of considerations we had, how we chose to buy even though interest rates are where they are, whether or not to sale or current house or rent it out, and much much more!
Rates are continuing to increase, but there are programs available that benefit buyers and sellers in this market. If you're thinking about waiting until the new year to buy for the potential of lower rates you will likely be waiting until Q3 2023. Market trends are also showing that even though home prices are leveling off in North Texas they are certainly not tanking.

Do you think you're only option as a buyer to get a lower interest rate in the current market is to personally buying down points on your mortgage? That's no longer the case as sellers are upping their strategy to keep buyers interested by leveraging the buy down program. Listen to how buyers can benefit from this program with no extra money out of your own pocket.

In this episode I sit down with Brandon Bates to discuss the many reasons why it is still a good time to buy a home in Q4 2022. We dive deep into receiving feedback from buyers that made the decision to purchase when they did and the benefits of making that decision, dropping PMI due to the amount of equity a home owner has received in their property (and how to complete that process), to understanding what a buy down program...this episode is jam packed with valuable information to put your mind at ease when deciding for yourself if this is the right time to buy. There is no question that the buy down program is gaining traction and interest as a viable option for sellers and lenders to offer buyers to alleviate the challenge of a higher mortgage interest rate. more on that in this episode!

In this episode I sit down with Brandon Bates to discuss the current buyer dilemma...to buy or not to buy.

Who has heard that the looming recession, wait we can still call it a recession right??, is going to bring down the entire housing market much like what happened in 2008-2009 or even 2011-2012? I've got one thing to say about that...if you're waiting for a crash (especially in Texas) it's not going to happen!
I sit down with Brandon Bates to discuss the cooling off of the market in July 2022, what that means for buyers and sellers, and how to best consider home buying and selling while avoiding the idea of simply sitting on the sideline like chicken little waiting for something bad to happen.

In this episode I sit down with Sara Rivera at Wright Law & Title, located in Denton, TX, to discuss the many ways a Realtor (or really anyone who wants to grow their business) can expand their brand, grow their following, and build their business by leveraging social media the right ways! Are you utilizing your social media platforms to solely post about real estate i.e. a home you just got under contract, the open house scheduled for this weekends, beautiful homes that you toured with a new buyer client? On the other side of that coin are you only posting content about your family? Do you need to have separate professional and personal profiles? What content helps grow my following on these social media platforms? All this and more will be discussed!
